When that moment of anger when I just want to KILL somebody happens I take a deep breath, a really deep breath...and every emotion in me just dies for a while. You'd be surprised how fast I do that. Then, when I'm in my room alone I just kinda fight the air. I know it sounds weird, but that's pretty much what I do. Punch, kicks, take out my wooden sword and slash and slash and slash and slash until that final moment of rage just gets 100% then I just kinda scream. It's not a loud one, but it's long and drawn out until all the anger is just completely gone. Then I'm back to my normally calm self. I do this every three months or so, letting anger build up until I let it out. I do this so I don't end up exploding on someone and end up killing them. For a skinny guy, I'm surprisingly viscous in fights.
Usually, I'll just shout a lot and let it out immediately. If it's more of a chronic irritation, I'll try to spread it thinly between everyone I meet. Pretending not to understand stuff winds people up very nicely and makes me feel much better. Exercise often does the trick too but I'm more likely to hibernate through winter than to be found in the gym.
I try to do an activity that will help me calm down, such as music, video games etc. Sometimes if i get angry i reason it through to myself, usually calms me down.
I don't usually get angry. I'm usually able to realize that the person causing the problem doesn't know what they are doing and I just chalk it up to their stupidity and laugh at them in my head. If I do get really angry though, I have to leave and just be alone for a while, going out for a walk or something.
i have a somewhat unusual way of dealing. i act exceptionally kind to everybody i dislike for a good few weeks, then randomly flame out on them hard.....you know how everybody has that insecurity that you know you shouldn't hit just because it's TOO bad, like no matter how much you hate them you won't go near that, ya i hit that. fat guys eating away their problems, girls calling themselves fat since they don't want to admit their personality is why they're pretty hot but still single, skinny guys's hair usually bugs them, etc etc etc. stuff they know is their emotional problem, not something they've just been stuck with, so they really beat themselves up about it.
If I am annoyed at work I rant to a non-involved party.
When it's a video game I have a history of throwing controllers. Have broken only 1 360 controller so far (Damn Street Fighter 4) but I broke COUNTLESS PS2 controllers....
When I am driving I am yelling and cursing most of the drive.....
The only plus side is I am not one to get violent. Only time I actually hit is when someone has been hitting me.
I add reason to whatever angers me, and if that alone doesen't cut it, I intellectualize it along the lines of "nothing is so bad, that it's not good for something or someone."
It takes alot to get me angry, but when i do get angry, it's not in the rage kind of way. I kind of get in an irritated mood, showing sligth signs of frustration, that's about it.
